First-year cost example, full-time family farm: AcreTrail Standard runs $348/year ($29 × 12, no setup fee). Barn2Door Business at the annual rate runs $2,047/year ($129 × 12 + $499 setup). The gap narrows when you need Barn2Door's storefront, marketplace integrations, or farmers market POS, and widens when you don't.
Most farms can move over in a weekend. We import your customer list and product catalog from a CSV export, you set your delivery schedule and pickup locations, and your customers get an invite to the new app. We're a small team and we'll personally walk you through it.
Common reasons farms move:
I'm a software developer in southwest Washington. I'm also a customer of a dairy farm here that runs local deliveries. They were drowning in text-message orders, so I built AcreTrail.
Now I run it for them, and for any other small farm that wants a flat-fee tool that doesn't punish growth. If you sign up, you'll talk to me, not a support queue.

About 24 hours from CSV import to your first order. We provision your farm's instance, import your customers and products from a Barn2Door CSV export, and set up your delivery schedule with you.
Your customers get an invite from your farm's branded app and create a new account with their existing email address. Passwords don't carry over from Barn2Door (that wouldn't be secure). Their order history transfers separately as part of the CSV import.
Not really. They see your farm's name and colors, not "AcreTrail." Ordering is a list of products with quantities and a delivery date, the same mental model as a Barn2Door storefront.
No contract, no cancellation fee. You can export your full customer list and order history as CSV anytime, including after you cancel.
Yes, and that's the point. You get direct support from the person who builds the product, not a ticket queue. The tradeoff: no enterprise integrations team, no 24/7 phone support. If your farm needs those, Barn2Door is the better fit.
